you know, **** it, let’s just not think so much
Don’t know why but this gave me chills. The hometown kid gets it. Was 7 years old or so when the hawks won it the first time, then 10, and then 12.
Give buddy a god damn letter
Yeah honeslty his mindset is picture perfect and I'm liking him more and more.
What a change and a success story. Hope he's here his whole career.

for sure he is going to get a letter at some point, rather he have it at this point than Jones

I'm taking the high road moving forward.
Corey Pronman's NHL prospects I was wrong about, 2024 edition. AKA "The Full Musto". Vlasic tops the list.
He wasn’t amazing in school, but the tools still looked excellent and I shouldn’t have moved the needle so drastically from a guy I projected as a No. 4-6 NHL D to someone who wouldn’t play.

Everyone was wrong about Vlasic. Including the people who liked him, and including everyone in the Blackhawks front office.
Even those that thought he'd be a player, didn't think he'd be this good.

Nice try. Nobody was close to as verbal or adamant that he was a wasted pick as you were.

You can't take credit for being right if you won't own being wrong.

I've stated on numerous occasions I was wrong about Vlasic
Pretty sure I even made a dedicated thread for it at one point

Yep. I don't think even his biggest fans were expecting him to become one of the best shutdown defenders in the league (if that's even where he tops out).
I shit on him a lot. He's an awesome, local, success story.

He thinks he's a 6/7 defenseman that should be in the NHL because reasons.

An unfortunate victim of Jeremy Colliton and being jerked around by the front office.
Should be in the league right now.
What's probably going to happen is he'll go and play in the SHL or the Swiss league for a season where he becomes league MVP. Every NHL team realizes they f***ed up, and so they all rush to try and sign him. Ian comes back to the NHL as a top 4 defenseman on a Cup winning team.

Here in reality, he's a 25 year old AHL Defenseman. Even Forsling, a posterchild for a guy the NHL completely gave up on that turned into a big player on a Stanley Cup winner, was an established Top 4 Defenseman on a playoff team at that age.
People forget Forsling was acquired for Adam Clendening from Vancouver, dressed/played for the Blackhawks, traded to Carolina for Calvin deHaan…it was Carolina who gave up on him…
Is it me? Or does Chicagos defence look better WITHOUT Seth Jones?
